Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to laminates, and particularly to laminates used to provide labels and other decorations, such as heat-transferable labels and shrink sleeve labels.
- Labels used to decorate articles include heat transferable labels and shrink sleeve labels.
- Heat transferable labels are multi-layered laminates, with each layer having its own function.
- heat transferable labels generally include an adhesive layer, an ink layer, and a wax release layer.
- the wax release layer is often directly adjacent a carrier sheet, such as on a roll or web of labels. When subjected to heat, the wax release layer melts, thereby allowing the laminate to be separated for the carrier sheet, and the adhesive layer adheres the ink layer to an article being labeled.
- the wax release layer may provide protection to the ink layer.
- the labels may include a separate protective layer overlying the ink layer to protect the ink layer from abrasion.
- articles such as containers made of plastic and glass
- the image is preprinted in reverse, such as by using rotogravure printing technologies on a continuous paper web with a special release agent, for example.
- the web is passed over a preheater (200° to 300° F.) then a transfer plate (300° to 500° F.) that heats the web to soften the release agent (i.e., the wax) and activates the adhesive.
- a heated rubber transfer roller causes the activated adhesive to come in contact with the article being labeled.
- the heated roller maintains web-to-article contact throughout the label application and thus transfers the laminate, including the ink layer image.
- Preheating or preflaming may be necessary to prepare the container surface to allow for a permanent bond.
- postcuring or postflaming may also be necessary depending on container material.
- Shrink films such as shrink sleeves and shrink wraps
- Shrink films are also often used in decoration, such as labeling of articles.
- the use of these films involves sizing a shrink film, which may be a tubular shrink sleeve for flat shrink wrap, to an article, and snugly enclosing the shrink film around the article by shrinking the film. This shrinking process is accomplished by the application of heat to the shrink film.
- the shrink film may generally be formed from polyethylene terephthalate, polyethylene terephthalate glycol, polyvinyl chloride, or oriented polystyrene, for example. This film has an inherent tension, which is released by heating the film from the outside in a shrink oven.
- Labels such as the heat-transferable and shrink sleeve labels described above, are commonly used to decorate and/or to label commercial articles, such as, and without limitation, containers for beverages (including alcoholic beverages, such as beer), essential oils, detergents, adverse chemicals, as well as health and beauty aids.
- Heat-transferable labels are desirably resistant to abrasion and chemical effects in order to avoid a loss of label information and desirably possess good adhesion to the articles to which they are affixed.
- several drawbacks are associated with current heat transferable labels, as well as with shrink sleeve labels and other types of labels.
- heat transferable labels include a gloss or sheen. This gloss is generally attributable to the protective layer.
- the high gloss or sheen of the heat transferable label often may be a desirable aesthetic quality.
- a high gloss label can result in an unaesthetic contrast with the textured article.
- the high gloss of the label more specifically is an effect of the smooth surface of the protective layer.
- This smooth surface imparts a slippery quality to the label that does not allow for a comfortable or solid grip of an article to which it is applied.
- the slippery nature of such labels can lead to an increase in the number of articles and labels that are damaged due to dropping of the article, etc. This leads to increased costs of the article. This problem is prevalent not only in heat-transferable labels, but also with other smooth and glossy labels, such as a shrink sleeve label.
- heat-transferable labels and shrink sleeve labels do not have any thermal barrier properties.
- articles being labeled are containers designed to hold other substances. These substances may be hot when placed in the container, or can subsequently be made hot (for example, soup in a microwaveable container). In the absence of any thermal barrier, the heat of the contents can be transferred through the container and label. When the article is then grasped, the heat can cause injury.
- thermal barrier properties may be found in labels other than heat-transferable labels and shrink sleeve labels, including, but not limited to, in-mold labels.
- the present invention overcomes the drawbacks discussed above by providing a laminate including a heat-activatable expandable layer that provides a tactile feature when in a heat-activated, and therefore expanded, state.
- This tactile feature may be designed to match a surface of an article to which it is applied, and also may enhance grip and provide a thermal barrier.
- the laminate of the present invention may include a plurality of layers (for example, a wax layer, a protective layer, an ink layer, and a heat-activatable adhesive layer, although all of these layers are not necessary to the present invention).
- One of the layers is a heat-activatable expandable layer including a thermally expandable composition.
- the heat-activatable expandable layer may include a plurality of microcapsules containing the thermally expandable composition.
- This thermally expandable composition may include a “foaming” agent having an easily volatilizable hydrocarbon, and a binder resin.
- the microcapsules When subjected to high temperatures during the process of applying a label, the microcapsules rupture and the thermally expandable composition “foams,” which can be used to provide a texture to the label, and can raise or surround the graphics (i.e., an ink layer) of the label.
- the thermally expandable composition can be patterned in such manner that, when activated, the resulting raised texture can itself appear in a pattern or a design, thereby further adding to the aesthetics of the label.
- the textured label can offer aesthetic benefits by matching the nonglossy texture of container materials along with imparting its own design, and can create a friendly-to-the-touch type of label.
- the textured surface of the laminate due to the thermally expandable layer, provides a more comfortable and enhanced grip to the user.
- the thermally expandable composition can impart a thermal barrier property to the label.
- the raised textured surface creates increased resistance to heat loss, providing a thermal barrier should any heated materials be placed within the container, or should any materials within the container be subsequently heated.
- the expandable layer is heat-activated, it will be recognized that the textured attributes of the label are induced by heat as opposed to other stimuli (e.g., pressure). Since the use of heat is already an integral part of labeling applications such as heat transfer and shrink sleeve labeling, the labeled article would not have to be subjected to any additional processes. This is advantageous because any additional process steps would decrease label application throughput.

- FIG. 4 is a schematic of the progression of the web/label for applying labels to articles in accordance with the principles of the present invention.
- the present invention provides a laminate 10 including a heat-activatable expandable layer 12 .
- the laminate 10 is depicted as including layers other than the heat-activatable expandable layer 12 .
- laminates 10 in accordance with the principles of the present invention may include multiple layers (from two layers to several layers), many of the layers discussed herein are merely exemplary, both in the number, type, and positioning of the layers, and thus are not necessary to certain embodiments of the invention.
- the present invention simply provides a laminate 10 including a heat-activatable expandable layer 12 .
- the heat-activatable expandable layer 12 Prior to the application of heat, the heat-activatable expandable layer 12 is in a nonactivated, and thus nonexpanded, state. When in a heat-activated state, the heat-activatable expandable layer 12 expands to provide at least a tactile feature to the laminate 10 .
- the application of heat generally may occur during the process of applying the laminate 10 to an article 22 , although it may be applied at other times, such as during a post flaming process.
- the heat-activatable expandable layer 12 may include various materials in order to achieve this expansion, and in a particular embodiment, includes a heat expandable composition including a binder resin and a solvent.
- the binder resin may be present in a range of about 50% by weight to about 80% by weight of the expandable layer
- the solvent may be present in a range of up to about 20% by weight of the expandable layer.
- the solvent such as water, for example, is used with an emulsifying agent to prepare an emulsion including the binder resin.
- This emulsifying agent may be a surfactant.
- the binder resin is fragmentized, by methods well known to those skilled in the art.
- the fragmentized binder resin is then emulsified using the surfactant and solvent by methods also well known to those skilled in the art.
- the function of the binder is to impart cohesive film strength and interlayer adhesion within the laminate 10 .
- the expandable composition undergoes an expansive or “foaming” effect. This expansive or “foaming” effect can be disruptive to the other layers of the laminate 10 .
- the binder resin is useful to hold any layers adjacent to the expanding layer to one another in order to maintain the integrity of the laminate 10 .
- the heat-expandable composition may also include a colorant.
- the colorant may be present in a range of about 1% by weight to about 5% by weight of the expandable layer.
- One function of the colorant may be to match the color of the expandable layer to the article 22 receiving the laminate 10 .
- the heat expandable composition of the heat-activatable expandable layer 12 may further be disposed on an outer surface of a plurality of microspheres. These microspheres may be present in a range of about 10% by weight to about 50% by weight of the heat-activatable expandable layer 12 .
- the microspheres are held together on a film due to the binder resin of the expandable composition on the outer surface of the microspheres.
- the microspheres are designed to rupture to allow expansion of the heat expandable composition upon the occurrence of a particular event, such as heating to a particular temperature. In order to rupture, the microspheres may be constructed from an easily volatilizable hydrocarbon.
- the microspheres may be FOAMCOAT A7810 AYTM microspheres, commercially available from Sovereign Specialty Chemical, of Chicago, Illinois.
- the microspheres can be constructed from any material, as long as the microspheres can be adaptable to rupture at the proper moment (such as due to a temperature) to result in expansion of the heat-activatable expandable layer 12 .
- the microspheres may include an interior compartment.
- a gas such as isobutane, may be microencapsulated in the interior compartment encapsulated by the microspheres. The gas expands on the application of heat, causing the microspheres to rupture and the expandable composition to expand.
- the microspheres may be heat-rupturable.
- the microspheres may be adapted to rupture at temperatures at or above about 180° F.
- the microcapsules When subjected to temperatures above about 180° F. during the process of attaching the laminate 10 , the microcapsules rupture and the composition “foams,” causing the layer to expand.
- the expandable lacquer is the only layer that foams/expands when heated.
- the microcapsules rupture, releasing a gas, such as isobutane, which expands the coating. The material is then held in the expanded state by the binder resin.
- the laminate 10 of the present invention is amenable to use in labels that are subjected to heat during the application process, such as heat-transferable labels and shrink sleeve labels. This may eliminate the need for a separate heating step.
- the laminate 10 having a heat-activatable expandable layer 12 of the present invention may be used for other types of labels, such as pressure-sensitive labels.
- the binder resin, colorant, and solvent of the heat-activatable expandable layer 12 may be chosen from various materials.
- the binder resin may be chosen from acrylic binders, vinyl acrylic copolymer binders, vinyl acetate homopolymer binders, styrene acrylic binders, and phenoxy binders.
- the acrylic binder may be selected from, but is not limited to, the following Rhoplex binder resins, commercially available from Rohm and Haas, of Philadelphia, Pa.: B15R, B60a, B85, B88, B959, GL618, GL623, HA12, P554, and SP100.
- the vinyl acrylic copolymer binder may be selected from, but is not limited to, the following Polyco binder resins, commercially available from Rohm and Haas: 3103NP, 3250, and 6107.
- the vinyl acetate homopolymer binder may be selected from, but is not limited to, the following Polyco binder resins, commercially available from Rohm and Haas: 2149A and 2152.
- the styrene acrylic binder may be selected from, but is not limited to, the following binder resins, commercially available from Rohm and Haas: P308, P322, and P376.
- the phenoxy binder may be, but is not limited to, InChem PKHW34, commercially available from InChem Corporation, of Rock Creek, S.C.
- the colorant may include a nonionic water-based dye.
- this dye is merely exemplary.
- Other types of dyes may be suitable for the present invention, such as anionic dyes.
- the colorant may be added to the expanding layer to add “tint” to the textured portions of the laminate 10 .
- the solvent may be chosen from any substance that is an efficient solvent for the heat-expandable composition, but which also does not cause the microcapsules to rupture.
- the solvent may be chosen from distilled water and isopropanol, for example.
- microencapsulated or “microencapsulation” is to be taken to mean the packaging by encapsulation of certain liquids or solids in a paste form in an enclosed solid shell.
- the walls of the microcapsule must be chemically inert to the contents of the capsule and must possess the required stability with respect to the surrounding medium. Further, the capsules must be sealed and must be sufficiently fracture-resistant for the application in question, and also sufficiently temperature stable.
- the size of the capsules depends on the production process and extends from a diameter of about 2 microns to about a diameter of about 30 microns, however, a size of about 2 to about 20 microns is mostly used.
- a substance that may be contained within the capsule is isobutane.
- the remaining expandable composition i.e., binder, surfactant, and water emulsion
- the isobutane causes the microcapsules to burst and also provides the expansive “foaming” characteristic to the expandable composition.
- laminates 10 in accordance with the principles of the present invention may include other layers, as well.
- additional layers may include an adhesive layer 14 , a wax release layer 16 , an ink layer 18 , and/or a protective layer 20 .
- the laminate 10 may include an adhesive layer 14 .
- the adhesive layer 14 is positioned directly adjacent the expandable layer.
- this positioning is merely exemplary, and in alternate embodiments, another layer or layers may be positioned between the heat-activatable expandable layer 12 and the adhesive layer 14 .
- the adhesive layer 14 is adapted to contact and confront an article 22 to which the laminate 10 is applied, to adhere the laminate 10 thereto.
- the adhesive layer 14 may include any materials known to those skilled in the art that provide a strong bond to articles 22 , such as containers to which labels are applied.
- Adhesive layer 14 may suitably be composed of a thermoplastic polyamide adhesive.
- a preferred thermoplastic polyamide adhesive is the reaction product of a diamine with a dimerized fatty acid, such as that available under the trade name VERSAMID 900 series from Henkel Corporation of Minneapolis, Minn. It has been found advantageous to combine this polyamide constituent with a nitrocellulose base in adhesive layer 14 .
- the laminate 10 may further include a wax release layer 16 .
- the heat-activatable expandable layer 12 may be disposed between the adhesive layer 14 and the wax release layer 16 .
- each of the adhesive layer 14 and the wax release layer 16 is directly adjacent the heat-activatable expandable layer 12 .
- the heat-activatable expandable layer 12 need not be directly adjacent both the adhesive layer 14 and the wax release layer 16 .
- the wax release layer 16 generally serves two purposes: (1) to provide release of the ink design from a carrier web upon application of heat to the web and (2) in certain embodiments, to form a protective layer 20 over any transferred ink design. Further, after transfer of a heat-transfer label to an article 22 , the transferred wax release layer 16 is typically subjected to a post flaming technique, which enhances the optical clarity of the wax release layer 16 (thereby enabling any ink design layer therebeneath to be better observed) and which enhances the protective properties of the transferred wax release layer 16 .
- the wax release layer 16 may include various materials. Such materials may result in a matte finish or in a gloss finish.
- suitable materials for a matte wax release layer 16 see U.S. Pat. No. 4,536,434, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
- suitable materials for a gloss wax release layer 16 see U.S. Pat. No. 4,581,266, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. That patent describes an exemplary formulation for the wax release layer 16 including paraffin and a montan wax, and which may also include a minor amount of microcrystalline wax. In addition to these waxes, the formulation may include a tackifying resin and suitable binder.
- the total amount of crystallinity of the paraffin wax can be reduced. This can serve to reduce the amount of “haze” over the final transferred image.
- postflaming serves to reduce some of the hazing which appears over the transferred image it effects only a partial reduction and does not decrease the crystallinity of the wax components.
- Postflaming has been determined to increase clarity principally because it has the effect of smoothing microscopic hills and valleys on the surface of the transferred release layer. Postflaming thus creates a smoother, more uniform surface of glossy character, increases the overall clarity of the transferred release layer, and consequently the clarity of the transferred design image. Residual amount of opacity or hazing is believed to be caused by the crystalline structure of the solidified paraffin wax, and to a lesser degree, of the solidified microcrystalline wax, which contains crystals of much smaller size.
- paraffin wax a petroleum derived product
- Paraffin wax typically has a molecular weight between about 254 to 450 and is composed essentially of linear saturated hydrocarbons ranging from C 18 H 38 to C 32 H 66 .
- Paraffins typically have a melting point from about 110° F. to 150° F. (“Melting point,” as used herein, refers to drop melting point).
- paraffin waxes where there is likely to be some increased amount of branching associated with their structure, there is likely to be a greater portion of malcrystalline and needle-like crystals interspersed among the plates.
- the type and amount of crystals found in paraffin wax is principally an inherent function of the boiling point range of paraffins being investigated irrespective of the solvent or medium used from which the crystalline solid is precipitated.
- the microcrystalline component of wax release layer 16 may be composed of saturated hydrocarbons of higher melting point than those of paraffin wax.
- Microcrystalline waxes characteristically contain between about C 34 H 70 to C 60 H 120 hydrocarbons having molecular weight between about 478 and 840.
- Microcrystalline waxes are characterized by an increased amount of branching; although they contain straight chain molecules, they are not as linear a saturated hydrocarbon as paraffin wax. Also compared to paraffin wax, they contain a greater portion of cyclic ring molecules.
- the crystalline structure of the microcrystalline wax contains predominantly malcrystalline and needle-like crystals having very small, undefined form when compared with the plate-like crystalline structure of paraffin wax under the same magnification.
- microcrystalline wax is small and irregular when solidified from the melted wax.
- microcrystalline wax discloses no well-formed crystals of any size.
- Small amounts of microwax may be added to the formulation for wax release layer 16 , since microwax imparts a measure of plasticity to the paraffin wax components, since the paraffin wax is rather brittle and would, by itself, tend to cause cracks or fissures in a wax release layer 16 . Because of its diminished crystalline structure, microwax contributes little potential hazing or halo effect.
- microwaxes vary principally in their melting point range.
- the so-called hard microwaxes have a melting point between about 190° F.-210° F.; the plastic microwaxes a melting point between about 145° F.-175° F.; the emulsifiable crystalline waxes between about 190° F.-225° F.; and modified microwaxes between about 165° F.-220° F. All of these various types of microwaxes may be employed in the present formulation.
- An illustrative, commercially available microcrystalline wax that is particularly suitable in the present formulation is available under the Victory White trade name from the Petrolite Corporation.
- montan wax is an oxidized, esterified, partially saponified montan wax as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,616,015, herein incorporated by reference.
- Montan waxes of this type have melting points (drop points) typically between about 50° F.-110° F., saponification values between about 25 and 150, acid values between about 5 and 40, and penetrometer hardness (ASTM-D5-52) below about 15 as measured with 100 grams for 5 seconds at 25° F.
- These montan waxes also have relatively high melt viscosity.
- Hoechst OP Hoechst X55 modified montan wax from the Hoechst Chemical Company, Frankfurt, Germany.
- Hoechst OP modified montan wax has a drop point (ASTM D127) of 212° F.-221° F., a congealing point (ASTM D938-49) between 165° F.-175° F., an acid number of 10 to 15, and a saponification number of 100 to 115.
- Hoechst X55 has a drop point of 208° F.-218° F., a congealing point of 167° F.-176° F., an acid number of 10 to 15, and a saponification number of 90 to 110. These waxes have melt viscosities of at least about 150 centipoise at a temperature of about 25° F. above their solidification point.
- the laminate 10 may further include an ink layer 18 .
- the expandable layer may be adjacent said ink layer 18 such that the expandable layer contacts and confronts substantially the entire ink layer 18 .
- the expandable layer may be adjacent the ink layer 18 such that the expandable layer intercalates around the ink layer 18 (see FIG. 3 ). In this configuration, the heat-activatable expandable layer 12 is raised around the graphics provided by the ink layer 18 .
- polyester inks suitable for the present invention may be found in U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,862,832, 2,989,413, 2,990,311, and 3,043,732, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein in their entireties. Also polyester inks would be suitable for glass articles. Examples of such polyester inks may be found in U.S. Pat. No. 6,042,676, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
- the ink layer 18 provides graphics or other decoration to the label of the laminate 10 .
- the laminate 10 does not include an ink layer 18 , but rather may include an expandable layer.
- the expandable layer of the laminate 10 may be in the form of a pattern or design.
- the expandable layer itself when activated, provides a “watermark”-like decoration. This can obviate the use of an ink layer 18 in the laminate 10 .
- the laminate 10 of the present invention may further include a protective layer 20 .
- the protective layer 20 may be disposed between the wax release layer 16 and the ink layer 18 , as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 .
- the protective layer 20 may include various materials including, but not limited to, polyester. This protective layer 20 provides protection to the ink graphics apart from any protection provided by a wax release layer 16 .
- the heat-activatable expandable layer 12 may be used to impart a tactile feature to the laminate 10 .
- This tactile feature is substantially similar to a second tactile feature of a surface of an article 22 to which the laminate 10 is applied.
- the laminate 10 of the present invention may include at least one additional layer (such as, but not limited to, an adhesive layer 14 , wax release layer 16 , ink layer 18 , or protective layer 20 , as described above), wherein the expandable layer and the one additional layer provide a label such as, but not limited to, a heat-transferable label, an in-mold label, and a shrink sleeve label.
- the laminate 10 of the present invention is applied to an article 22 as follows.
- the laminates 10 forming labels of the present invention, are carried on a carrier web 24 .
- the labels are releasable from the web 24 and the web progresses from a feed reel 28 to a transfer roll 48 .
- the carrier web 24 After being taken from a rotating feed reel 28 , the carrier web 24 generally will pass through a series of idler rolls 30 , dancer rolls 32 , metering rolls 34 , and shuttle rolls 36 before passing across the transfer roll 48 of a decorator station, which is proximal to the articles 22 being labeled.
- the temperature of the carrier web 24 Prior to reaching the transfer roll 48 , the temperature of the carrier web 24 , and thus the laminate 10 , may be increased by moving the carrier web in proximity to a label preheater 38 .
- the increased temperature provided by the label preheater may serve to facilitate a slight melting of the wax layer, and thus release of the laminate 10 from the web 24 .
- the increased temperature may simultaneously further activate the adhesive layer 14 on the laminate to facilitate adherence of the laminate 10 to the article 22 .
- Each transfer roll 48 contacts the side of the web opposite the laminate 10 and is rotatable as the web 24 is drawn across the transfer roll 48 , and the laminate 10 contacts an article 22 .
- Each decorating station and/or transfer roll can be individually moved outwardly in a direction toward the article 22 to be labeled by means of a fixed cam, or by other means, to confront and press the web and laminate against the article 22 being labeled at the required time.
- the now empty carrier web 24 may progress again through a series of idler, dancer, and shuttle rolls 30 , 32 , 36 to a take-up reel 42 .
- carrier web is heated to a temperature typically from about 375° F.-400° F., i.e., sufficient to melt the wax release layer 16 .
- a temperature typically from about 375° F.-400° F., i.e., sufficient to melt the wax release layer 16 .
- This may be conveniently accomplished by conveying laminate 10 over a hot platen for a period sufficient to melt release coating.
- the article 22 to which laminate 10 is to be applied may be preheated to a temperature sufficiently high to melt release layer as laminate 10 is pressed against the article 22 .
- Laminate 10 is applied to the article 22 to be decorated by pressing the heated laminate 10 onto the article 22 so that the topmost layer of transfer substrate, for example ink design layer or optional layer contacts the article 22 .
- Rolling pressure is applied over the exposed surface of carrier to effect transfer of substrate onto the article 22 .
- carrier is peeled from substrate while wax release layer 16 is in molten state, leaving substrate permanently affixed to the article 22 with design image clearly visible through transferred release layer.
- release coating solidifies to a clear, smooth glossy protective layer 20 over transferred ink design image.
- Transferred substrate may optionally be exposed to postflaming to re-melt transferred coating and thus further improve the clarity and gloss of transferred coating, and consequently, clarity of transferred design image.
- Postflaming may be accomplished, for example, by exposing the transferred substrate including transferred coating to jets of hot gas either as direct gas flame or as hot air jets, typically at about 300° F.-400° F. or higher for a period sufficient to melt the wax in the manner described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,616,015.
- the heat transferable substrate herein described may be used to decorate virtually any plastic or glass article 22 .
- the substrate is well suited to the decoration of such materials as polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene terephthalate, polyethylene, and polypropylene.
